Both super talent.

The 1st clip, is pure class street riding.

the 2nd clip is all new to me. and most be some sort of new skool flatland. as when i was last riding and followed it, (5ish years ago) there wasn't much like that.

You must remember Day Smith then. His feature in "Mad Matt" is my favourite ever. Mainly for the Bee Gees remix

Fiecos Dan

yeah i remember.

but i rode/like'd Dirt and street riding.


i went thro all my odd video's about 3 months ago, and think i still have Mad matt. as well as all the prop's from 10 ish to 28ish, the first 3 road fools, and some of the back yard stuff. bout 40 video's in all.

GARETH T

hand rail wall ride in the first video is super cool

rapidcossie

sounds like you were into BMX about the same time as me?
i had props for number 4 tho..

i went to 3 backyard jams, rode at all the big skate parks and trails across britain and even got a centre spred in ride mag doing a big tabletop one hander over the box at liverpool skate park.

Rich_w

I wonder if you were ever at the one in 95. The one where the Vert comp got rained off. Big Blue ramp in that field on the coast. Mates and I camped for that one. Was fooking ace. Got McCoy and Hoffman to sign a magazine. aah memories

Never like Ride mag after it changed its logo and went to that XL format. got to up its own arse with that "model" in every one (think she was the GF of one of the Nobles. )

Always prefered Dig. One issue ever god-knows-when. I saw it in WHSmiths a while back. How things change.

I heard that Leigh on Sea got demolished a few years back. Thats a fucker, as that was probably the best outdoor park in the country.

Scared me off!

Cool.That kid in the first vid def has skill..

I use to ride at Bath some times..They still got all the ramps there at the park??

Didn't Andy Ruffell have that plate years ago, talking bout in the late 80's. Whoever it was, their old man had it on their car and then when they were old enough they had it on their own car. Could have been Craig Schofield?

Fiecos Dan

i started riding when i was 14, so 1995, full on till 1999, then 1 year or so on and off.
i still have my DK sob upstairs in the spare room. just incase.


i used to ride Ramsgate (my local) Ashford (bout 1 hour away), Hernebay, Favershame, and Canterbury Trails.
but also rode abit of Ramps, Broadstairs (alot as my local), Dover crabble, Playstation a couple of times, Harrow, Gravesend.

MAD EVO 4

lots of old BMX'ers here

I used to ride, from 1992 to 1997/8 mainly street and dirt with a bit of ramp when I got to go to Leigh on Sea, I rode there near enough everyday in the summer holidays. Has it really been demolished? Thats a shame, it was kinda in bad repair though, was run by a right pair of stoners! One of them was called Trev, I sold him my Haro Shredder Frame when I finally upgraded to a S&M Holmes.

Used to also ride Stevenage concrete park (have a nice scar on my chin from that, 20 stiches worth), and Rayleigh Trials (they were still being built when I started riding there)

I really regret giving up, I was actually pretty good.

I don't suppose any of you guys have the poorboy videos? 1,2 and 3 I am after.

Martyn

Fook me, Stevenage brings back some memories!
We used to drive down and skate there around 1991, Knebworth house too, in the back way FOC

jumpin jack crash

that was some excellent riding, i would have like to have a few of the "nearly nailed it" clips as some bmx crashes are gnarly and some are extremely funny, i used to ride with james hitchcox, alex dick and chico hooke when i was into it, although i used to ride my downhill bike while they were on the bmx's, so much fun to ride with guys of that quality and makes you wanna try bigger tricks etc....

gaz s1

ahh sreet riding brings back memories flatland was more my thing back in the late eighties wernt 2 bad either won the tizer world flatland championship twice sponsered by gt then adidas working in the usa with dennis mccoy and joe johnson clips like this make me feel like getting the old bike out again but at 38 id probably die of a heart attack ha ha

dave120

what about writing into Ride after they got our names wrong at the liverpool comp? eh euan! LOL!

I remeber going to west end cyles in glasgow every week to buy a new bmx vid, road fools was excellent, its a bloody series on Sky sports extreme now!

totally miss the BMX days, not a care in the world etc.

That first video is awesome, second one is really skillfull but just doesnt look as much fun.

I was always into skateboards not BMX, so no idea of how hard it is to do those things as ive never tried, all seems pretty impossible but on the other had he makes it look so easy

Used to go to Knebworth house sometimes too, got thrown out all the time thou, if we went too close to the actual buildings

sm

Fiecos Dan
